Join Matthew West on an unforgettable Storytellers Cruise with Matthew West, Greg Laurie, Selah and more!

Dear Friends,

As you know the power of a story has impacted my life and music over the years. I’ve read over 40,000 of your stories that not only have inspired my songs but inspire me daily as I watch God change lives and bring people closer to Him.

With that in mind, I am excited to invite you to join me for our 2016 Storytellers Cruise to the Caribbean. We will experience an amazing time with music, worship, speakers and special opportunities where together we will learn to CRAFT, SHARE & LIVE out our stories while drawing closer to God. Maybe you’re at a point in your life where you need encouragement or a reminder that God has His hand on your life and has a great plan for your story. If so, then this cruise is for you.

Plus, we’ll be in the Caribbean! The sights, ports, warm weather and the gorgeous beaches will be beautiful and fun to explore. We will be sailing on board Holland America Line’s msNieuw Amsterdam and visiting Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos, San Juan, Philipsburg, St. Maarten, and Half Moon Cay, Bahamas.

In addition to the concerts and speakers, there will be many opportunities for special devotional times, exclusive events and time to connect with friends and family. One thing I get really excited about is the opportunity for us to meet new friends, make memories that will last a lifetime and share how God has woven our stories together because we are all STORYTELLERS.

As always, we have some very special guest artists and speakers including Selah, Greg Laurie, Angie Smith, Mr. Talk Box and my dad Joe West to make the week even more memorable. I really hope you will join us on what will be an amazing week of music, worship, learning, exploration and of course a relaxing vacation!

I'll see you on the ship!

God Bless,

Matthew West
